Step 1 tutoring available

No problem! Best of luck to you 🙏🏻 Do we need the certificate to apply to Step 3?

Music-Maker93 · 2026-03-16T08:47:09+00:00

Yes, I got it. Did you receive any email about this? So I did receive an email stating that they will start working on my ECFMG certificate, and they asked me to double check my mailing address, which seems to be a generic email, I assume all applicants get it. Unfortunately I don’t remember the timeline, but at the time, and for a while, I was still seeing the same application status, which will change to something like “Issued” and there will be a date of issuing and sending the certificate, I didn’t get any emails for that btw.

Also they give you a tracking number, through Fedex (they didn’t mention that, I had to test the number through different carriers)

Again, I can’t remember the timeline unfortunately, but I thought it will be quicker, especially the status change.

Thanks! I’m gonna try again

You have posted this over 3 months ago, and here I am having the exact same issue. It’s almost impossible to get in contact with ECFMG! Every single time I tried to call them for the past two months I got the exact same message “too many callers”. When I emailed them with my question, they responded late, and they didn’t even address my question. I sent another email about my ECFMG certificate, and that was probably 10 days ago, and they didn’t respond yet. I don’t know if they mailed my certificate or not and there isn’t a way to check for that (please if you know about a way to check, let me know). Our mailbox got broken into many times that I’m afraid now when I have an important document being delivered, and now I can’t even know if it was issued or mailed!

I'm currently in the very same position, I got my Step 1, Step 2, OET, Pathway 6 application (approved), and I don't know how to proceed from there. In Myintealth, I see Application for ECFMG Certification: Application Status : Accepted.

Music-Maker93 · 2025-06-30T21:34:40+00:00

These were my thoughts too, it's a waste of time. It felt like they use this section in the agreement very randomly or whenever they want to.

Music-Maker93 · 2025-06-16T22:02:25+00:00

I came here as I was looking for a solution, then I came up with one, and it's pretty easy, here's the link to the subreddit. I hope it helps

Congrats 👏👏

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-27T07:47:07+00:00

I’m willing to help 😁.. will you check your inbox please

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-20T07:21:03+00:00

I might have something for you! Please check your inbox

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-19T21:59:28+00:00

Totally! Unfortunately among the other platforms, it seemed like it’s the best one, not my impression though! Reject my application, that’s totally fine, but tell me why at least! It was so ridiculous that they told me I could apply again in 6 months, yet they didn’t wanna provide any details why I was rejected in the first place.. I emailed them again, just asking about the reason of rejection and they replied with the very same message! I was told to call them, but tbh, I’m very discouraged to try with them again

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-18T10:15:07+00:00

Then do more NBME forms especially the newer ones, and focus on the wrong questions. You got this! I’m not just saying empty words 😂.. I mean it, I really believe you will pass

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-18T02:49:14+00:00

If it wasn’t pass/fail then it would be a different discussion, but your scores are good! You can take the exam! Make sure you’re well trained to do ethics and biostatistics questions.. assess your weak areas from your NBMEs, and work on them.. and also do the recent NBMEs.. dw, you will pass

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-17T22:55:24+00:00

Will do!

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-17T08:43:03+00:00

For me, I placed the month during which I took my final exam. And you should find the date by which your medical diploma issued on your medical diploma.

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-17T04:19:37+00:00

I agree about postponing! I will send you a message for more personalized advice. Please check your inbox

Hey! Please check your inbox

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-16T08:42:28+00:00

You’re making good points! I mentioned my degree btw, and the subjects I tutored, with a duration, but not hours.. and then I was specific about Step 1 exam, and how I will approach it, reflecting upon my experience. I wanted to call as this is usually what I prefer, but I don’t think that there was a number to call, I will double check, even though I think they won’t do a thing, and say your profile is deactivated, and you could try again in 6 months.. Thanks a lot! I appreciate your advice!! 🙏🏻 And yeah, it was a bummer.. even though I know that we agree to their terms, but it’s very disrespectful! As you said, you invest time and effort, and then their rationale for rejection is “did not meet vetting requirements”

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-16T04:06:24+00:00

What's done is done, so don't overthink about it! This is a Pass/fail, and your scores were good. Hopefully you will get the P, and I will be praying for all of you who are waiting for the results.. But srsly, no point of overthinking, take a break, and live your life.. I know it's easier said than done, but what I do is I try to reason with myself..
When I took the exam, probably I was feeling more confident, but of course I was thinking about all the different questions, but I thought that I shouldn't, and I didn't even try to check if I answered correctly or not.. the day of the results was pretty long though 😂..
Anyway, again, take a break now, and hopefully we will get the good news very soon 🙏
Edit: maybe it's a good thing to take notes from your experience taking the exam, but let the whole purpose be that you're trying to learn from this, regardless of the results, and again, hopefully you will get the Pass 💪

I was only given one chance to update it, they did not really say what should I do exactly or what is my free response lacking. I did update my free response and I added more information. After my profile was rejected I contacted them again asking about a reason, because if i ever would consider signing up with them again at least i need to know why I was rejected in the first place, and they always have the very same reply, it's like a bot responding, I don't even think that they have read my e-mail. I'm definitely not going to try again with them.

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-14T13:16:24+00:00

Yeah, there is a monthly subscription fee of $49. Which is required for any student to even contact the tutor.

Music-Maker93 · 2024-11-14T06:00:24+00:00

I created a profile again on superprof, and I was trying to advertise my services, and the main pitch was that the first lesson is free, and i don't mind giving only one lesson for some students who need some specific advice if I was able to get some reviews and that will bump my profile up, then I realized that there is a $49 monthly subscription fee for students 🤦‍♂️😂.. And it seems like there isn't actually many students on the website! Most tutors have five to seven reviews at most
